Something that's not super controversial, but you still really stand by it.

I am convinced beyond contestation that carpeting a bathroom is an exceptionally stupid thing to do.

[–] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is not warm, this is cold hard facts

The assignment was "not super controversial, but I still really stand by it."

My bathroom was carpeted. By my direct ancestors. They built the rest of the world I live in, too.

Pizza is one of the best food forms we've ever come up with. I don't even care if you use wildly nontraditional toppings, like a chicken vindaloo pizza or a chili dog pizza. Just put the shit you wanna eat on a giant dough, cook it, then cut it up and eat it. Genius.

[–] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

One of my siblings just... doesn't like pizza. All of the individual components are fine in other dishes, but not together. I don't understand.

chicken vindaloo pizza or a chili dog pizza.

Go on, I'm interested...

The fevered dreams of a madman, for now. But if in some sitcom plot, I ever inherit a pizza place form a long-lost uncle, those will be called the Dave Lister and the Blue Hedgehog respectively (I have to assume Sega is more litigious than the BBC).

I once made a seafood and butter sauce pizza for a highschool gf. Hated it myself but she still talked about it years after we spit. Pizza and Sandwiches are the peak of human civilization

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It’s no coincidence that most pizza shops also sell sangwiches

[–] LunarLoony 1 points 5 days ago

I've been doing a lot of batch cooking lately, and come to the conclusion that everything is a soup.

Pizza is just soup on top of bread.

Any home that doesn’t have central air conditioning should at least have a dedicated circuit outlet by each window. It’s like home designers are trying to make people sweat.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

I moved out of my last shitty apartment because the entire thing was wired to two 15amp fuses. If the Fridge compressor happened to kick on while I was cooking on the electric stove and had like the microwave also going it would blow a fuse. My new apartment has circuit breakers, but things aren't much better. The stove and fridge are on their own circuits. However all of the outlets are on a single breaker. If I try to run the AC in the bedroom at the same time as the living room it trips. It's rage inducing.

Lukewarm water is great for showering

Bleu cheese is the best cheese.

[–] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

To each their own, I think a good parmesan is my favorite, but blue cheese is pretty up there

People have their minds turned from 'learning mode' to 'i am correct' mode wayy too much

[–] Monument 8 points 6 days ago

People who are always the hero of their own stories are not trustworthy narrators.

[–] Kacarott@aussie.zone 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Either watch the movie OR read the book. Never both. Both just leads to disappointment at the cost of your time.

[–] kossa@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago

There are notable exceptions, LOTR comes to mind, well executed adaption IMO.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Follow the Rule of Law

[–] Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

If you can't say something nice...

Being online would be lot better, and I think we would learn more. Trying to implement this in myself. I wasn't raised right.
